TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, ABBOTT Q. Ross, of Cloves, in the county ofHamilton, invented a new and useful Pocket-Safe and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a view of the safe unattached to the POGliGt. A A are arms,which are secured together at one end, and held apart by their ownelasticity at the other and. One of these arms is provided with thebuttons B B, by which the safe is secured. to the pocket, being buttonedinto button-holes out in the garment for that purpose. C is a slidingbrace clasping the arms A A, which being slid up or down, closes oropens said arms at will. dis a lock on one of the arms, intendedto holdlocked together the arms A A, by preventing the sliding brace C fromslipping back. The brace C'can he slipped back over the lock cl, whennecessary, by pressing the arms A A closer together. e e, on the endofthe arms A A, are teeth to enable said arms to bite and hold tight theback and front of the pocliet to-which it may be attached. f is a blade,with which to cut the. necessary holes to-button and secure the safeto-the garment, and can be used for many other purposes; I

Figure 2 represents the safe locked and attached to the pocket. A A arethe arms of the safe. The end of-one of these arms is run through aholeinthe back of the pocket,

and is held there by its tooth e, while the other arm runs outside thelap of the pocket. The sliding brace O is then run up over the lock d,andlocks the back and front of the pocket together, as hereinrepresented. B B are the. button by which the safe is bnttoned to thegarment, in the manner herein represented. I

When thepocket is looked in this'inanner, it will be impossible for thewatch or pocket-book to be taken from the pocket, without firstunlocking the pocket by sliding the brace 0 back over the 'lo'ck'd,which cannot be done without drawing the attention of the party beingrobbed.

Figure 3 repersentsthe same device, with the exception that instead ofbeing provided-with the buttons B B, it is provided with the pin Z, andcatch m, which obviate the necessity of cutting button-holes in thegarment, and is at-quicker and r'eadier mode of attaching the safe tothe pocket.

and set, of Ohio, have and exact What I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is- The within-described pocket-safe, composedof the arms A-A, provided with the slide C,plock-catch d,

teeth e e, and blade f, the whole combined and arranged as herein setforth. I ABBOTT o. Boss.
